RAY-FLEX

What this record means

The record shows that RAY‑FLEX, owned by RAYBESTOS POWERTRAIN, LLC, is a cancelled Principal Register registration; its status was set to cancelled on Feb 12 2016 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only “friction material bands for use in transmissions of land vehicles” in International Class 012, so a later use of the same or similar name in that narrow automotive‑transmission context would be the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “RAY‑FLEX” in unrelated goods or services. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply tracks the normal filing, registration and renewal steps before the 2016 cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a product that falls within the same friction‑band transmission niche.
